service technicians” on page 115.
2.
Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
3.
Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the cover (see “Removing and installing the cover”
on page 119).
4.
Remove the DIMM air baffle (see “Removing and installing the DIMM air baffle” on page 121).

Remove the heat sink.
CAUTION:
The heat sink may become very hot during normal operation. Allow time for the heat sink to cool
down before you touch it.
